ADULT EDUCATION

Education has always been part of the foundation of Judaism. We believe that all people, adults and children, should always be learning and growing. Jewish tradition teaches us to question and debate the meaning of our sacred texts to ensure that they remain meaningful to each of us.

At CBS we offer a wide range of opportunities to grow spiritually and educationally:

Meaningful Judaism classes on Sundays 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. taught by Rabbi Shalom Bochner. This year the focus is on the Siddur (prayerbook), its content, history, meaning and intention. These classes are free and open to everyone.

Adult Hebrew classes on Sundays 11:15 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. taught by Joella Harlan. This is for beginner and intermediate levels. These classes are free and open to everyone.

Torah Discussions are on Shabbat (Saturday) mornings at 11:15 a.m. with Rabbi Shalom Bochner as part of our Torah and Study Minyan. We look at the weekly Torah portions and find meaning and inspiration for our daily lives.

Kabbalah (Jewish Mysticism) classes are often offered to the congregation and the public as part of a series of deepening our understanding of Jewish philosophy and wisdom. Specific dates and tuition costs are listed on the CBS website.

Conversion classes: Please schedule a time to meet with Rabbi Shalom to develop an individualized program of study and preparation. Click here to visit our “Conversion to Judaism” webpage.

Current Events and Drashot: Every Friday our Shabbat Services include a short teaching about important world events, upcoming Jewish holidays, and other relevant topics.

Special Events: We host Scholar-In-Residence weekends, movie nights with panel discussions, occasional lectures and other educational programs to enrich our lives and the community.
